The shell file has the advantage of automatically picking up all
the files.  The previous scheme often had people forgetting to
add new .p files to the main list.  We were also adding new phones
at a considerably higher rate.

BitPim originally used host encoding which was whatever flavour of
8 bit codepage the user had.

During the migration to wxPython 2.5, we switched over to using Unicode
everywhere.  (BTW Mac doesn't have a Unicode 2.5.2 so things are worse
there).

There is currently zero code that deals with characters going to or from
phones.  This is in the todo list to fix:  http://bitpim.org/todo.html

Data that comes from external sources such as Outlook, vCards etc should
work fine.
